How to Start a Local Poetry ClubIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Every poetry club must have members and a meeting place. Talk to your friends, family and classmates. See what kind of interest those around you have in attending a poetry club. From there, branch out into your community for members and a location. Churches, coffee shops, libraries and bookstores are typically open to hosting poetry clubs. Schedule a meeting with the person in charge and express your interest in using her facility for your club. Check to see if there are any fees involved. Some locations allow clubs to meet for free, so survey several spots before choosing the best one for your club.
Poetry Club for Writers
An ideal poetry club for writers should include both published and unpublished poets. Members of a writing-based poetry club usually have the same goal: publication. This type of poetry club helps writers grow through the reading-and-critiquing process. Published poets can be a great asset to help new writers to reach their publishing goals. Published poets have been through the process and understand the details related to publication. They are typically comfortable with their own voice and are able to offer advice to new or unpublished poets. Set aside a specific amount of time to read and critique each other’s writings. Always stress that the club meeting is a judgment-free zone and that each member should be respectful of other members and their writing.
Poetry Club for Readers
Poetry clubs for readers provide a way to share the love of poetry. Poetry-reading groups meet to discuss the poetry they’ve read in the past and to discover new poetry. This type of club works well in a library setting, because books abound. Members often choose different books of poetry to share or a selection of poetry to read before the meetings start and then discuss the works during the meeting time. Poetry clubs can select works from classical poets like Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Walt Whitman or Longfellow or contemporary poets like Carl Sandburg, Maya Angelou or Robert Frost.
Successful Poetry Clubs
Poetry clubs can play an important role in their community. Members can reach out to the community and become involved in promoting literacy. Many poetry clubs host poetry readings during the holidays. For example, a reading of 'The Raven” by Poe presented around Halloween can draw crowds and entice new members. Reading “T’was the Night Before Christmas” -- the classic holiday poem by Clement Clarke Moore -- around Christmastime in conjunction with a writing contest encourages writing and draws publicity for a club.

How to Write to a Remote File in PHPIn Feburary 2016 15,

In Feburary 2016 15,
Open your PHP file in a text editor, such as Windows Notepad.
Connect to a remote FTP server. Open a file with the 'fopen(address, mode)' command. The mode needs to be set to 'w' for writing. For example, '$my_file = fopen ('ftp://ftp.myserver.com/myfile.txt', w);' will anonymously connect you to the ftp server and create a new file called 'myfile.txt' that you can write to. To use a non-anonymous account, change the address to use the format 'ftp://username:password@ftp.myserver.com/file'.
Write data to the file using the 'fwrite(handle, string);' command. For example, 'fwrite ($my_file, 'my text');'.
Close your connection once you are done writing to the file with the 'fclose(handle);' command. For example, 'fclose($my_file);'. Once executed, the new file will now have been written to and saved on the remote server.
Save the PHP file.

How to Run a Home Madden TournamentIn Feburary 2016 15,

In Feburary 2016 15,
Confirm and finalize your participants. Nothing can throw a tournament into chaos quite like participants who either are late or fail to arrive. Ensure everyone who says they will take part in your tournament actually arrives.
Set up your bracket. If there are many players, you can set the bracket placement by writing numbers on sheets of paper and having participants taking them out of a hat. Refer to the link for a sample bracket layout.If you have an odd number of players, you can have a play-in game to see who will advance into your tournament.
Determine your rules. If you are playing a single-elimination tournament, where the player is eliminated after one loss, say so. If it is a double-elimination tournament, have a second 'loser' bracket set up for the losers to battle it out for third.
Prepare each game. Before the participants ever pick up a controller, set each game's difficulty, quarter times and other in-game options. Do this before each game so that the playing field is even.
